WARNING:
Attempting to light the burner
with the lid closed
may cause
an explosion. Make`
sure there are no obstructions of airflow to the gas unit. Spiders
and insects can nest and clog the burner/venturi tube at the
orifice. A clogged burner
tube can lead to
a fire beneath the appliance.
2. All valves must be in the “OFF” position.
3. Open cylinder valve.
4. Ignite only the burners
you
wish to use, using the same method for each:
To ignite,push and turn desired knob slowly about 1/4 turn counter clockwise until a click is heard.

Flare-ups
“Flare-ups” sometimes occur when food drippings fall onto the hot heat distribution plate or burners and ignite. Some
flaring is normal and desirable as it helps impart the unique flavors associated with grilled foods. Controlling the intensity of
the flare-ups is necessary, however, in order to avoid burned or unevenly cooked foods and to prevent the possibility of
accidental fire.
WARNING:
Always monitor the grill closely when cooking and turn the flame level down to LOW or OFF if flare-ups intensify.

●
The new regulators are equipped with a safety device that restricts the gas flow in the event of a gas leek. However,
unsafe practices of grill operation could activate the safety device without having a gas leak.
●
A sudden shut off of the gas flow typically occurs if you open the LP tank valve rapidly, or if one or more of the
burner control knobs is in an open position when opening the LP tank valve.
●
This procedure effective with all LP Tank sizes as well as Natural Gas. When performing the procedure on a Natural
Gas model, simply substitute "Natural Gas valve" for "LP Tank
